Michigan Lt. Gov. Garlin Gilchrist (D) is launching a campaign for governor Tuesday, arguing Michigan needs a “problem solver” and hoping to defy more than 40 years of struggles that lieutenant governors have had in seeking the state’s top political office, the Detroit News reports.
The Washington Post notes Michigan will be a big test for Democrats post-2024, as they look to defend the governor’s office and a Senate seat.
